I’m here since yesterday morning

pre upgraded the day before my arrival to a beach villa with pool, it’s probably 5-6 category above the beach bungalow (standard room) booked with points for 16 nights. (Titanium)

I received an email from Mr. Mohamed Haroon (Resort manager) two days before my stay and I replayed him with my preference to be upgraded to a beach villa, since I don’t like to stay in an overwater. Very kind and generous to upgrade us to the best kind of 1 bedroom beach villa

we met also Mr. Nilesh Singh, the general manager, he came tonight at dinner also to greet us and talk a little

they are both very nice guys

I believe they do more than an extra mile for the Marriott elite members, I really feel welcome and appreciated

The service from all the people here from staff is very good.

the resort itself is very nice and new. And super clean everywhere in every part. I can’t say luxurious, it’s minimalist style and elegant. Room is very comfortable and housekeeping service is perfectly managed 2 times per day.

for any request you can get in touch with the reception by WhatsApp and they are quick and accurate.

we choose the half board and both the dinners had at Velaa and Turquoise were fantastic. Large portions and very good quality food.

in this season the best side of the island is (unfortunately) the south one, where only some 2 bedrooms villas and the lagoon villas are located.

the sea in the north side (and also the sea where the overwater are open yet) in this season is more rough and there is more wind also. But not a big problem

actually the best beach / sea where to relax is the south one facing the houses where the employees stay

riviera pool area is amazing, very quiet and facing a very nice sea. Also the main pool is very nice but too windy area for me.

I’m sure coming in the best season it must be wonderful, as the whole north part of the island.

I’m actually very happy with my choose of this resort. It absolutely values the amount of points payed.

The prices for extra F&B are correct for this kind of resort, nothing is overpriced
